BRING ME SOME WATER

melissa etheridge

[Verse]
Am
tonight I feel so weak
but all in love is fair
I turn the other cheek
(stop)
And I feel the slap and the sting of the foul night air
D
and I know you're only human
Am
And I haven't got talking room
D
But tonight while I'm makinng excuses
Em (stop)
Some other woman is making love to you

[Chorus]

Am G D
Somebody bring me some water
Am G D
Can't you see I'm burning alive
Am G D
Can't you see my baby's got another lover
Em
I don't know how I'm gonna surive
Am G D
Somebody bring me some water
Am G D
Can't you see it's out of control
Am G D
Baby's got my heart baby's got my mind
Em
But tonight the sweet devil, sweet devil's got my soul

when will this aching pass
when will the night be through
I want to hear the breaking glass
I only feel the steel of the red hot truth
And I'd do anything to get it out of my mind
I need some insanity that temporary kind
tell me how will I ever be the same
when I know that woman is wispering you name

[Chorus]

Oh, devil's got my soul

[Chorus]

Please correct, if it isn't right...

So I will. I think it sounds better when you play E instead of Em, and
an A chord instead of Am. Play the A chord like this:

E---|---|---|-X-|--|
A---|---|---|-X-|--|
D---|-X-|---|---|--|
G---|-X-|---|---|--|
B---|---|---|---|--|
E---|---|---|---|--|

Use your first finger on the G and D string. Pluck the cords. Listen to
the song. If you play it like this, you can make the little 4-note riff
(rather fast) at the end of each line with your left hand (1st finger),
by pulling off the G and D strings. If I'm not clear, e-mail me.
Oh, another thing. In the chorus, use D and Dsus4:
D Dsus4 D(let ring shortly)
